Kelechi Iheanacho

The rags have signed Rojo with no work permit, it just means you can't play them until you get it sorted.

Does Rojo need a work permit? I heard that the delay with Rojo was concerned with the third party ownership issues involved and theat the FA?PL?whoever weren't prepared to sign off the deal because they weren't satisfied with it.

Hmm, looks like you're correct. It was originally reported as due to work permit problems but it looks like it's down to Doyen Sport wanting 75% of the transfer fee. :-

Louis van Gaal’s defensive concerns could deepen after it emerged that the Premier League are yet to sign off on Marcos Rojo’s transfer, partly because of Sporting Lisbon’s involvement with funding group Doyen.

Rojo moved to United for £16million eight days ago but has not yet played for Van Gaal. It had been thought that obtaining a work permit was the only delay in his registration being ratified but Sportsmail understands that the Premier League are still processing the paperwork associated with Doyen’s claim to 75 per cent of the transfer fee.

The delay would need to be overcome by 12pm on Friday if Rojo is to be eligible for the important encounter with Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon. It is uncertain whether that will prove the case.
When Rojo was bought by Sporting from Spartak Moscow for £3.5m in 2012 Doyen are understood to have loaned the Portuguese club most of the money.

In return the investment fund would receive 75 per cent of any future transfer fee or be repaid in full at a set interest rate – as with a lending bank. But a row between Sporting’s new president Bruno de Carvalho and Doyen broke out when he discovered the arrangement and claimed the club were being put under pressure to sell Rojo to United.

Doyen insisted this was never the case but in the end the Argentina international did switch to Old Trafford. Sporting received £8m immediately, with two further instalments of £4m due but Sportsmail understands Doyen have yet to receive a single penny and are considering legal action that could end up in court.

United are not implicated in this in any shape and Doyen’s only concern is holding Sporting to the contract the club signed in 2012.
That wrangle in itself is not holding up the Premier League’s legal team but any transfer involving third-party entities is looked at with great care after the Carlos Tevez affair.

On a similar basis it took time for deals to be completed for Manchester City’s Eliaquim Mangala and Liverpool’s Lazar Markovic earlier in the window as guarantees on the ownership of their economic rights were sought.

Once the Premier League are satisfied with the issues around Rojo he will be granted permission to play – but until then it leaves Van Gaal without one of his key signings and a defensive headache.

Get his work permit sorted and throw him on the bench

As somebody in the press said on Twitter today, letting Negrado go might be not just the fee involved, but that City are confident Iheanacho will get his work permit Oct 1st and thus be our 4th striker

Could work in our favour. Gives the lad some playing time before the January transfer window. If he proves to be the real deal at this early stage in his career no need to be looking for another forward.

He looks a real talent but we should not put too high an expectation on him.

He is no shrinking violet. He looks to me as though he has every belief in his own ability irrespective of what expectations may be.

He looked confident in Pittsburg against Milan

Maybe

As a fan I'd be very very sceptical about performances in pre-season tour games. But pellegrini and co see him every day. This maybe a reason we are prepared to let Negredo go. May. It might also be straw-clutching and an excuse.

Sad to see Negredo go. It may create opportunities for others. It will also make our defence of the League Cup more difficult

But how committed was Negredo. He went from being brilliant to awful almost overnight.

 

[thatsmyflag]

Won't be able to play until the new year he is owned by a third party company and some legal rubbish won't be resolved till then.

The company who own this chap are a new company who have been recruiting plays in South Africa and the states and Iheanacho is their first to be signed up to a known club.

no doubt I will be called a liar, I will try and get the pic of him I was shown sat in the changing room at the Etihad the day he signed.

 

[cleavers]

I still can't see him getting a work permit, whenever he's available to sign, we'll never get an "exceptional talent" past a rag infested board.

What if we found him an English wife sharpish?
